Celsius Network (CEL)

Overview

Celsius is a new global P2P financial platform that will seamlessly connects holders of crypto-assets with borrowers.

Project stage

Beta version

Detailed description

The Celsius Wallet will be one of the only online crypto wallets designed to allow members to use coins as collateral to get a loan in dollars, and in the future, to lend their crypto to earn interest on deposited coins (when they’re lent out). Members will be able to borrow USD against their crypto holdings in their wallet which will be used as collateral.

Main goal is to allow anyone who’s in need of cash to easily borrow from the Celsius platform without having to sell their crypto holdings. The ability to take loans in dollars against your cryptocurrency will be available immediately after the Celsius tokens are issued. In the future, through the Celsius Network, cryptocurrencies deposited by members into their Celsius Wallet will be available on the network for immediate borrowing and shorting. Coins that are lent from member wallets will begin to accrue interest in the form of Celsius Tokens (CEL), allowing members to earn up to 9% annual interest per transaction.

Problem

Sometimes You Just Need CashMembers may be holding crypto, but now they need to buy a car or pay down expensive credit card debt. Unfortunately, most car dealerships or banks still don’t want cryptocurrency.

Wallets Without Interest, Nobody WinsAnyone with cryptocurrency sitting in cold storage or on some exchange or wallet, is earning exactly zero interest. We believe there should be a way for crypto holders to HODL coins while still leveraging their crypto assets and helping other crypto holders.

The 99% Not The 1%Most financial institutions still don’t get cryptocurrency. They want to short the market because they’re blinded by being so late to the party on this one. Right now, there’s no good place for them to go to bet against the cryptocurrency market other than expensive futures markets like the CME and centralized exchanges.

Solution

Crypto Collateral = Cash in HandMaking borrowing cash a whole lot easier. Celsius’ goal is to allow its members to use their crypto holdings as collateral in order to secure low interest loans in dollars. Rather than selling their crypto (pay taxes and forfeit potential future gains), with Celsius they can leverage their cryptocurrency to borrow the cash they need today, while still maintaining their crypto portfolio for future value.

Crypto InterestBy depositing coins on the Celsius Network, crypto asset holders will be able to earn up to 9% interest for their lent coins. Offering a large array of lending options, from one-day to one-year contracts, all with highly competitive interest rates is planned. With Celsius, members will be able to easily earn interest on their crypto assets the same way they earn on the savings in the bank - but with much better rates.

Sure, Go ahead and Short Hedge funds, family offices and crypto funds still want to play in the world of cryptocurrency. Fortunately for us, they are willing to pay high fees to do so, so many of them want to short the market. After the Token Generation Event is completed, we will begin working on our platform that will allow us to make the most of their greed by taking up to 50% cash deposits and charging them interest when they hedge.
